What I can’t figure out is what their issue is with the size of the pitch? A small pitch requires more technical ability and greater acceleration by the players (as opposed to just top end speed), compared to a larger pitch where it’s much more of a pure physical style of play with having to cover ground and beating players to long outlet passes. If other teams don’t like the small field, that’s indicative of their own players’ shortcomings, most likely that of a less technically advanced player and more of a physical bruiser.
